Wasn't the official name of Arthur's sitcom "Amanda's By The Sea?" which was the name of the place she owned?

I don't know about that,but the late Bea Arthur's character was named Amanda Cartwright.In "Apple Pie",the late Rue McClanahan played Ginger-Nell Hollyhock,and in "The Betty White Show",she played Joyce Whitman.

The 3 flop,all-but forgotten series that Betty White ,the late Bea Arthur,and the late Rue McClanahan did? Betty White's was called "The Betty White Show",Bea Arthur's was called "Amanda's",and Rue McClanahan's was called "Apple Pie".None of them lasted very long.And all of them were late 1970's-early 1980's shows.Does anyone remember these shows?

I received eps of the Betty White Show years ago to see how bad it was and eps of the show Amanda's. I just gave away my one and only episode of Amanda's because that's how bad the show was IMO. I don't think anyone will ever see Apple Pie since it was only on the air for one week back in 1978.

I watched The Betty White Show. It wasn't great but it was watchable. Amanda's was awful. I only watched the first episode. I never saw Apple Pie.

You never saw Apple Pie because ABC cancelled the show after one airing in 1978-LOL

That's why it's no need to trade TV shows anymore because with the invention of youtube not many shows are rare anymore.
